This is a feature that is in Gaijin’s other game Enlisted and was also in Heroes and Generals. This will allow players to kill enemy tank commanders while they’re using their binoculars.
This can make players be more careful/ strategic when using binoculars as they have the ability to lose this feature when their tank commander is killed.
The commander should really pop out of the tank hatch when using binoculars as it just makes sense.
This could likely be a position that can be replaced by Hull Radio operators as the binoculars are a part of the game which is nice to have and the radio operator position is much more of a spare slot in a tank than anything useful.
as a side suggestion to this you could in simulator mode have it so that the commander is out of the hatch when in commander view and when in gunner or driver view they are within the tank. This would make the use of commander sights/ hunter killer modes more useful and add to the overall feel of the game.
That would be nice, in addition I would like to see the height adjusted according to it. not like now where you binoculars are like 2 meters above the tank.
The cupola is it’s own little turret with T&E controls and a sight. It literally can’t be “hand fired” and by SOP its not supposed to be “hip fired” with the TC sticking his head out to aim.
